Valentine's Day is coming up. I don't really get excited about holidays that we don't get off school for but this time I have a dream. Wanna hear my fantasy that will never come true? Ok well it when I first dreamt it up it wasn't for Valentine's but I've improvised. Okay so I'm watching TV and the rest of the family is asleep or gone somewhere. Someone knocks the door so I go see who it is. I look through the peep whole thing and see my crush so I open the door. He smiles at me and wishes me asks me to be his Valentine before giving me my first sweet little kiss. He then runs away before I can say something stupid. –dramatic sigh- And because this will never happen to me I write TT.
Disclaimer- I'm going to tell you all a secret. Come closer… that's it now stop. I don't own Hana-Kimi.
When we got to the carnival it was packed. I had never seen so many ghosts together at one place in my entire life. The others of course saw nothing although they did notice how it became extremely colder when we arrived.
"This place is a dump!" Nakao complained but he wasn't seeing what I was seeing. Everything looked like in the movies except that well, all the people were dead. I guess to them it looked beat down and trashed. But with my sight I saw it in its former glory, almost perfect.
I could feel someone's emotion of being overwhelmed in a large purple tent at the center of it all. "This way." I tell the others as I head towards that person. The tent, to everyone else was torn dirty and looked as if it had been set on fire and rained on a lot. I saw it as a fancy looking thing that was velvet. The opening had golden tassels hanging down, you know the works.
Inside to them it was all dusty and old furniture and pictures, broken, burned and straight from a horror movie. It reminded me of the inside of the Titanic from that movie they made about it. Nakatsu was getting freaked out and Noe was terrified beyond belief.
There was a girl sitting a table in the center, holding her head in her hand. Mizuki noticed her first out of everyone else. "Are you okay miss!" She asked going to her side. The girl didn't look up. Waves of her sorrow hit me hard but I did my best to keep an impassive face.
"Go away." She sobbed still not looking up. Sano seemed more then willing to leave right there but Mizuki wanted to make sure she's okay. "What are you doing in a place like this? Are you hurt?"
The girl looked up suddenly. Her long black hair was in her face so I couldn't get a good look at her. "You- You're alive!" She screamed. "Well that was obvious." Nakao scoffed making her feel like an idiot which made me feel like an idiot.
"I'm sorry, I just thought that… I mean… Not too many people come around here." "I sort of understand why." Nakatsu said shivering. A ghost had just entered the tent, walked right through him.
"Rin! Costumers have been complaining that you snapped at them when they asked for the fortunes. What is the meaning of this!" She looked at the ghostly woman. "They don't need there fortunes told, you're all dead!" she spoke trying not to move her mouth because well, it's odd to see a person talk to air to most people.
"You are the fortune teller?" I ask her. She's surprised I heard what the woman said. "Of course she is! She went ahead and killed our last one, inheriting her powers. Too bad someone smarter couldn't have done it, I mean; she thinks I'm dead! And just look at her clothe."
I smile at the ghost. "Must be insane, you look just as alive as everyone else that I've seen enjoying themselves here." "Kayashima?" "Who's he talking too?" I hear some of my friends whisper.
"Do you mind if we all get our fortunes told?" I ask in the most charming way I know how. My voice completely lost its emotionless tone for the time being. The ghost nodded her head franticly. "I would be insulted if you didn't! Rin these fine young men are free of charge."
She leaves the tent Rin flops down in her chair exhausted. "I can't believe you can see her too. I thought I was the only one." I don't say anything but Nakatsu taps me on the shoulder. "What the hell is going on? He asks the same confusion everyone else is in, even though Sano and Nakao don't seem to care to find out.
"This place is haunted that's what's going on!" Rin moaned as if in agony. "Ever since it burned down in the 30's it's been like a ghost hang our or something." "Where did you hear about this place exactly Kayashima?" Mizuki asked me.
I pull out a flyer that I had found last weekend when visiting an antic (sp?) store to buy a gift for my aunt. The guys look at it and it's Mizuki to point out that it was dated sometime in the 1930's. I guess I should have paid closer attention.
I stare at Rin. "Can you see the future and see ghosts?" Sano asked in an unbelieving voice. She shakes her head. "No, I only can see ghosts when in this tent. But ever since I 'killed' some ghost fortune teller I've been able to see the future and they won't let me leave for long periods at a time."
"Will you read our futures?" I ask her. She started at me for a long time. "On two conditions. One you tell me why you could see her and two get me away from here." I nod my head without even having to think about it.
"I see ghosts, auras, demons, familiars, and can feel the emotions of those around me." I guess after I told Nakatsu it didn't really matter who else knew I had empathy. She nodded, trying to take in what I had just said.
"Who wants to go first?" She asked after a few minuets of pointless questioning. Nakao, Sano, and Noe (who was still terrified) didn't want there fortunes read. They were all scarred even if two of them wouldn't show it I could sure as hell feel it in them.
Mizuki went first. She was told that she was going to live a long happy life with the man she loved and will have 3 kids. Of course Rin didn't say "man" she said significant other because she was a bit confused of the cross dressers gender.
Sekime went next. He will become a college professor in America and marry at a late age. He will adopt his wife's children but never have any of his own. Both me and Nakatsu went in front of Rin at the same time for our predictions.
She grabbed on to both of our shoulders and closed her eyes, concentrating hard. It was like I could see exactly what she was seeing, out future. It was just like what she saw was like her emotion for the time so I could see it too. Nakatsu's image came flying in my mind only older, he was crying.
Well that's it for now. I only got one review for the last chapter and that sort of makes me sad. Please review! It makes me happy and since I won't ever get my Valentine's wish it's the least you all could do. No I'm just kidding about that part but still, I would appreciate it if u clicked on the button below and reviewed.
